By default BIOS passwords are never set. Part of the reason they are rarely used. These passwords are not defaults, but backdoors so even if a password is set these can be entered to get around the password settings. If a laptop were stolen and you had both a BIOS password and a OS password, they can be cirumvented first using a backdoor password from the manfucturer (or other methods we will discuss later) and then using methods to crack the OS password.
